Airbag control unit with part number 95910-K3950

What does the airbag control unit 95910-K3950 do?

The airbag control unit 95910-K3950 is the central control unit of the SRS restraint system of Kia. It evaluates the crash sensors, decides in an accident within milliseconds on the triggering of airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and monitors the system throughout.

The unit reports faults via the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster. The fault data is stored so that a workshop can read it out later.

After an accident the unit stores crash data and locks itself.

Why does the control unit 95910-K3950 fail?

Most often the cause for the 95910-K3950 lies in crash data stored after an accident, even if no airbag has triggered. Other triggers are aged electronic components, cold solder joints, moisture and corrosion on plug connections, and voltage spikes.

Stored crash data cannot be erased with a standard diagnostic tool. Airbag24 removes it during the repair.

The other causes relate to the electrics. Components age, solder joints can go cold, and moisture or rust on the plugs has an effect, just as voltage spikes produced by a weak battery or a jump-start do.

How can you tell that the 95910-K3950 is defective?

A defect on the 95910-K3950 can be recognised by the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster, which stays on permanently or intermittently. Fault messages in the instrument cluster, a missing connection to the diagnostic tool and a fault memory that cannot be cleared are also signs.

• airbag warning light on permanently or intermittently
• fault message in the instrument cluster
• no connection between diagnostic tool and control unit
• fault memory cannot be cleared

In an emergency, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may fail to trigger in the event of a defect. For that reason, take a lit warning light seriously.
